I'm in league 1. Do we need to get down to 53? I thought it was 80?

I read on the contract page somewhere that we needed to be down to 53 before FA, but that doesn't seem right now that you mention it. Maybe it said after FA and I just read it wrong.

Edit: Nope here it is, this seems different.

Once you are satisfied with the contract of each player as shown below, click the "sign all contracts" button. This finalizes the contracts, after which time you can no longer change them. The "sign all contracts" button has no effect on players with "no contract"; you must explicityly release (using the "RELEASE" button). Your roster must be at or below the current roster limit before you will be allowed to bid on free agents.

At least in prior seasons you could go go over during FA but had to reduce to 53 by the time the season started.

I think I was near 60 something at one point last year.

I was pretty bummed to see Aberdeen had used his FA rights to retain Kelce, but then I saw he at least grabbed Evans from you in the process. Ugh - that smarted a bit. The FA crop is pretty middling this season so there was really nowhere else to spend that money. Not sure if there's any amount I could've thrown at Kelce to keep that match from happening, though.

3 of my top 4 pass catchers from last season are injured/ineffective this year. My only throughput will be my #3 WR (McLaurin) with my #1, #2 and TE all being effectively useless this season.

I've gotten beaten up pretty good by those match rights thus far.

The Kelce hit is gonna sting for awhile. I didn't recall what the required match was if you took someone to 7 years. I figured it would be a similar jump to the gap from 6 to 7 yrs.

It was not. Trumping my 100 w/ 110 wasn't all that difficult, though looking at that team's budget, I don't think there's an amount I could've bid that he would've balked at.

How could it? Trade 'em, don't trade 'em - it doesn't matter. You pay the entire freight when they sign the deal.

Look at every one of these contracts as being league minimum deals with big year 1 Roster Bonuses. Sign a guy to a 7 year deal for 110 bucks and they cost you zero dollars in years 2-7. You pay it all in year 1.

So if you trade them - fine, no impact because they didn't cost you anything. If you cut them, same story. Everything is paid for up front.

Right. DUH Lewdog.

Yup.

I was willing to thrown an assload of money at Hargrave even though he's 28 and probably won't age well. I figured I was gonna get 2 very good years, maybe 2 more solid ones and then probably cut him after 4 and eat the last 3 years of the deal.

But look at it this way - I had money to spend. If I don't spend it, I lose half of it. So I could either spend that $100 on Hargrave for 3 more years than I needed or I can sit on it, carry over $50 of it and just set the other $50 on fire.

Both end up with about the same amount of sunk costs, but the former option at least gives me a good player for a few years.

I'm not sure what Aberdeens strategy here. You let all those guys hit free agency instead of just re-signing them for much cheaper. Could have traded them for draft picks while your QBs are Kellen Mond and Jameis Winston. Thats a 8 win team at best. Could have stocked up on picks, grabbed a QB and have a ton of capspace to fill remaining holes.

Letting Kelce get to FA was an obvious mistake. He had to pay $110 for him when as a Tier 3 player he could've used one of his veteran deals on him and gotten him for 5 years/$55.

You don't want Kelce for 7 years anyway. You certainly don't want to be paying an extra 55 for the privilege's of those 2 years.

I almost wonder if he doesn't quite understand how it works. Because there's clearly something irrational about matching a guy like K-Pass or the shell of Josh Norman. If for some odd reason you want to sign those guys, just bid 'em up to 2 or 3 bucks - nobody's going to get in a bidding war for them.

It almost has to be a misunderstanding of how the system works.

Yeah thats probably it. Let's be honest Clay fucked that team as soon as he drafted Brees. That's just setting your team up for a 2 year window. I would have resigned Kelce and flipped him after next season. Not a chance his skill set doesn't decline in the next few years.

It's clear that things do matter over large numbers. It surely does seem like the playoffs are random chance sometimes, though. As little sense as me losing in League 1 made, me winning league 2 made even less. That team's maybe 70% as good as this one and again - I was running Fitzpatrick out there in the playoffs (Dak was hurt) and he was throwing passes to Kendrick Bourne as my #1 receiver after Julio went down.

Somehow it didn't matter. Leviska Shenault turns into Randy Moss and goes for 459 yards and 5 touchdowns in the post-season, Ryan Fitzpatrick becomes Joe Montana and a far far FAR inferior team to my squad in League 1 manages to steal a title.

Agreed on game planning. Taylor wasn't doing much the last month of the season so I adjusted to throw more. Russ goes for 400 and 3 tds in that playoff sacked 1 time IIRC. Defense chokes and I lose on a fumble in OT.

My 15-1 regular season was a fluke. Mostert was a beast and Judon had like 28 sacks with a great secondary. Your post season that year was a fluke. I recall Benson Meyowa playing like Lawrence Taylor.

Don't get me wrong I'm not really complaining much. It would be pretty boring if the top regular season teams won the title every year but there must be some damn algorithm in the simulator. I'm going to crack that son of a bitch 1 day.

cdcox

01-14-2022, 06:46 AM

Just to be clear, each game simulation requires thousands of random numbers. Of course some of those random numbers (did a fumble occur?) are way more important than others (who won the toss). So there can be upsets, just like in the NFL, and especially in the playoffs where both owners have their team in top shape and they are likely to be more closely matched.

Amazing how that works sometimes.

I've had guys in the past sit there unbid for 4-5 days, I'll throw a $1 bid on them and within 24 hours they're up in the 60s.

What really burns is when you've got a guy for $1 and next thing you know you get knocked off someone else you're bidding on. So you have a few extra bucks and decide to throw an extra year on the dollar player who has just a few hours left. So then his clock RESTARTS at 3 days and suddenly you end up in a bidding war on a guy you would've ended up getting signed for a year with no problem.

Learned that the hard way last season - at this point I'll just take the single year and hope I can get him re-signed if he earns it. It's just not worth the risk.

Only being able to sign 2 of your own FAs each year means a lot of turn over if you aren't careful. That is one of the lessons I am working through this year. Being late into the FA pool was likely a mistake too. Ah well.

CD, I haven't really gone through all these (and don't intend to), but there are some quirks in the availability.

For instance, Trevis Gipson isn't available in weeks 4-7. He played all those weeks, collected sacks in weeks 4 and 5, started in week 7. Really not sure how that one worked out but it just seems like it may be a bit of a red flag for other potential import errors or something.

Thankya sir.

I fixed it. It was not systematic. There are certain people that have to be matched manually. Trevis Gipson and Tashaun Gipson both play defense for the Bears and I just mixed them up.

Titty Meat

01-18-2022, 09:27 PM

I'm excited to see what this defense can do. Switch from the 34 to 4-3 with Jordan/Bosa on the ends that's a hell of a pass rush, the defensive tackles are pretty average, JOK/Davis/Werner is a nice LB core, Ramsey/Jackson/Slay is a great corner tandem. Kind of surprising the on thing that's lacked with my defense in the past is creating turnovers. You turn the ball over against my team or get into 2/3rd & long against them you're pretty fucked with how efficient the offense has been (averaged over 30 a game the past few seasons) this team again just lacks a true #1 WR though Samuel had an amazing season IRL and Taylor was the best back in the league.

Because many NFL players are not active in the playoffs, we use a different model to determine playoff availability in Sandbox than who actually played.

1. If a player is active either of the last two games of the regular season, they are active during the playoffs and no new injuries occur to Sandbox players.

2. If a player misses both of the last two weeks during the regular season, there is a probability that they could return during each week of the playoffs. Roughly, the longer a player has been out, the lower the chances of them returning in any individual week.

In J.J. Watt's case, he missed a bunch of games at the end of the regular NFL season, so in Sandbox, the chances of him returning any given week of the playoffs were pretty low. Sorry, but them's the breaks.

Well damn - while I wasn't paying attention I think I made my Benton squad in League 2 better than my CoMo squad in 1.

OL and DL is better, Secondary isn't quite as deep but just as good through the top end.
WR corps are about the same with a few games from Julio and Brown as well as Bourne to raise the ceiling a bit. I also have to strong pass-catching TEs in Goedert and Albert O. LB crew is again pretty similar to my Columbia one. Dak at QB vs. Tannehill in 1. Harris, Herbert and CEH at RB.

Man that DL is savage: Brian Burns - Jonathan Allen - Javon Hargrave - Arik Armstead and Kenny Clark/Al Woods in reserve roles. OL with Kolten Miller, Joe Thuney, JC Tretter, Quinton Spain and Dion Dawkins. This team is nasty in the trenches.

Yep, you'll be hard to beat with your QB back. I'm going thru QB purgatory, with buttoil boy not playing (and may not ever again, who knows).

The secondary was looking like it might be a real problem.

But then adding Adoree Jackson, Sidney Jones, Adrian Phillips and Jimmie Ward in the span of about 4 days patched that shit right up. That's an upgrade at CB2 (and by extension, Nickel/Dime) as well as FS and SS. I went from having a real problem at safety to maybe the top pair in the league, especially with how the two of them complement each other.

Wasn't able to put the WR corps over the top but got some nice value adds to help with depth.

My starters @ LB are Pratt, Ginkel and Barr backed up by Mosely and Autry who I rotate in on the Defensive line sometimes... I dont think you would be interested in Hewitt or my rookies (Roche, Sherwood) or Bostic who is out all this year.

It’s weird playing for the future when we used to have 2 years in our back pocket to cheat with… after this year it’s going to get much more difficult.

And the FA structure changes pretty substantially after this one as well. My memory is that it's a random draw who becomes available in FA and when during the actual NFL season.

And with FA essentially being the entire NFL season (IIRC), there's going to be a real change in approach in how to deal with it. Do you speculate early in week 1 on someone that's available having a good year? Or do you keep your powder dry until week 10 or later to have an actual track record as to who's available? Especially knowing that the market is going to get stiffer as the options are well known and more limited.

Gonna be a BIG change next season. That's why I was okay trading Cook for CMC - an extra year with a guy with a track record of success and an established role is gonna have value one way or the other.

Its why I also burned a few extra dollars on some guys I probably could've had for 1 season. Getting them for 2 or 3 was worth the trouble so I wouldn't have to speculate as much next season.

He actually had more snaps at OLB, but just play him at DE if you are in a 4-3. It will be fine.

Interesting.

I play a 3-4 though..........

And after this year the real work begins when I can just go get my new franchise QB since you saps don't know what you're looking for.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that the 'Trevis Gipson: Situational Pass Rusher' experiment got off to a nice start.

6 sacks, 5 forced fumbles. Not a bad day for the new guy.

That Myles Garret fella provided alright support for him on the other side w/ 4 sacks and 3 forced fumbles of his own.

If I'm playing a tough offense, I turn off that 'hurry up' shit. You can bomb a 9 point lead as quick as a hiccup in this game.

Keep the hammer down, IMO. There's just not enough benefit to trying to milk the clock.

Deonte Harris has been good for a 40 yard return every game thus far. He's been a major advantage.

6-0 through the 2 leagues w/ a couple of pretty tough matchups in League 1 that we've handled pretty easily.

Still some kinks to work with my WR rotation but it may just be that I'm simply not as strong there as I was last year (pretty likely). Fortunately we're MUCH better at running the ball this year so I can just adjust the dial a tick.

Just a lousy game by Tannehill. Defense did what it could - offense didn't answer the call.

Getting my running game sorted out a little bit to try to address some of these captain checkdown sort of games from Tannehill. That's nice. Tannehill needs to knock it off with these interceptions though. 4 picks already is just not gonna fly.

Wanna talk about O-Lines though; my boys have given up 4 sacks all season. With a 15% pressure rate on 200 drop backs. There's an 8% point gap from my squad down to 2nd place. And that's with Trent Brown absent for most of the year. My guys are out there blowing the curve all to hell.

And my special teams have been crazy good. Another punt return TD and AJ Cole is good for a few 60+ yard bombs with no return every game. Wanna try to Herm ball me and my ST unit will make you pay for it. Not bad for a unit with 100% turnover from last season.

Fired a shutout against a quality Royal Oak squad. And stayed undefeated in league 2.

Gonna tinker with the lineup a bit still. OBJ not really having much of an impact. I guess that was largely to be expected but I was hoping maybe his efforts in LA could goose his output a bit more.

Getting that running game ironed out as well.

So how's it determined who you can challenge?

I wanted to challenge the Detroit Vipers, for instance. It's grayed out - I couldn't (even when other boxes were available). But they could challenge me (and did, fortunately).

Seems like there's some asymmetry here I don't understand.
